Sitecore JSS with Sitecore 8.2

Good morning friends,

Can some one confirm that Sitecore JSS works with Sitecore 8.2 or do we need Sitecore 9? I see that official documentation says it is supported with Sitecore 9 but I am just curious if anyone made it work with sitecore 8.2. Thanks in advance

But there are other options to work Headless,
SXA default support JSON output, or by just using the Device function in Sitecore you can very quick create something similar to the JSON SXA approach without SXA
